DIY Dog Platform for Truck/SUV FOR $60!!

Follow
Frugal Fixer

Hi fellow DIYers/dog lovers!

In this video, I will be showing you a simple and relatively inexpensive, stepbystep guide on building a dog (animal) platform for your fur babies. This is perfect for long roadtrips or just all car rides in general. It has made our dogs SO much more comfortable in the car already which, of course, makes everyone happy :)

List of materials used (some items contain affiliate links):
Ryobi Drill and Drill Set: https://amzn.to/43dSKoa
Arrow T50 Heavy Duty Staple Gun Kit: https://amzn.to/3BQ6r0S
Ryobi One P505 18V Lithium Ion Cordless 5 1/2" 4,700 RPM Circular Saw: https://amzn.to/3C76Axn
2 Piece 2” x 18” Stainless Steel Piano Hinge Black (this is not what I used, but I highly recommend this size, since it’s much wider): https://amzn.to/3pV1vFg
[HIGHLY RECOMMEND for cutting the gap in the bottom piece] BLACK+DECKER Jig Saw, 4.5 Amp: https://amzn.to/420AMo4
23/32in OSB 4'x8'
3/4in1in wood screws depending on the thickness of the platform
Tape measure
Utility knife/heavy duty scissors
Carpet: (this is what I used) https://www.homedepot.com/p/TrafficMa...
Carpet padding (optional)

All in all, only including JUST the raw materials I had to purchase (so not including screws, staples, tools, etc.), I'd say this project cost around $60! I had quite a bit of the OSB board left over as well as some of the carpet which I ended up using for other projects.

Let me know what you think down below! I'd love to hear your feedback and answer any questions/comments you have :)
Also, if you have any suggestions for future videos, shout them out! I'm ALWAYS open for new ideas
